Not At Our Expense !!! (1 of 5)
Oh yes! We love the pleasure of enjoying our favorite restaurant, attending that very special event, relaxing at that exquisite hotel, finally owning that long-desired expensive house or car, and the like!
Most of us love receiving gifts, especially those ones we could not afford on our own.
It is particularly cool when we are recipients of them and we did not ask for them.
In other words, we love experiencing the joys of life and definitely when it is "Not At Our Expense".
When we receive gifts from others, we should be gracious enough to realize just how blessed we are and without hesitation, thank the donors both with our words and actions.

"Not At Our Expense" (2 of 5)
Our expressions of Thanksgiving should be passionate as we realize that we are enjoying our heart's desires but, "Not At Our Expense."
It truly is a wonderful experience when other people express their love for us in tangible ways.
This also includes receipt of gifts from our Heavenly Father who loves showering His sons and daughters with the finest of gifts.
He loves seeing our hearts light up from the joy, which over-floods them when He gives them to us.
Daddy-God loves to honor His Word such as is found in Matthew 6:33- NLT- Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
|
"Not At Our Expense" (3 of 5)
However, even though, it is "Not At Our Expense", there needs to be an investment of obedience, commitment and the honoring of Him by holy-living on our end.
This investment is for our benefit and it ensures us of being in a pleasing relationship with Him.
In contrast, the world will look at it as too costly a price to pay for loss of our freedom and our ability to choose how we want to live" by rendering that investment to Daddy-God.
However, it really is a deposit back into our own lives.
Therefore, as a child of God, we are afforded a comfortable life-style and receiving of the desires of our hearts; all because our hearts are aligned with His heart.
Provisions provided for us daily! Enjoyment of a satisfied and content heart and being "Not At Our Expense".
|
"Not At Our Expense" (4 of 5)
Even the greatest gift that could ever be given us; salvation with the promise of eternal life in glory with the Father, was "Not At Our Expense."
Jesus paid the price with the sacrifice of leaving glorious Heaven to come to earth to be humiliated.
He was despised, abused and tortured. He eventually died the horrific death of the cross- not for His own benefit, but for our benefit.
Jesus paid it all and all to Him we owe.
God demonstrates His great love, commitment and recognition of our value thru the provision of His gifts in our lives.
Whether miraculous manifestations or through the hands of other people, Daddy God provides for us-just because He loves us.
|
"Not At Our Expense" (5 OF 5)
Therefore, let us not just be spoiled brats and only focus on taking possession of such gifts that are "Not At Our Expense".
Let us without hesitation; be quick to recognize God's love for us.
Let us be quick to acknowledge His presence in our lives.
Be quick to say thank you Lord, I bless your Holy Name.
Thank you Daddy-God for showering me with all of this and it being "Not At Our Expense".
Lord, I recognize it is all from you and I thank you Lord God, in Jesus' Holy name.

Words from the Heart!
"Dr. Tonya Lewis--The Pleasure Was All Ours.... The Generosity of One Faith Fellowship Shall Not Soon Be Forgotten...All Our Guests Spoke of How Well Everything Went, How Elegant and Classy and Each Felt Great Pride To Be Involved. Dr. Ken Jones Ph.D. and I Are TRULY Encouraged By ALL YOU HAVE DONE on Our Behalf and Thank You Simply Does Not Seem To Be Enough... Continue To be Blessed That YOU May Be A Blessing." Wendy Allen-Bell
Hey Dr. Lewis: Subject: Re: Choose to be God's "Exhibit"--Thanks so much for the words of wisdom for this week. I really want to be an "EXHIBIT" for God! I hope my life is a witness for the Lord every day.Love you lot's! L V
Dr. Tonya, I just want to let you know how much I enjoy the newsletters that you send via One Faith. They are enjoyable, insightful, inspiring and when I really need some humor, I can always depend on something being there to help me get in touch with my sense of humor. Love you. Keep up the good work. M D
Your message opened a door of revelation to me. When I read about the devil (as I have done many times before) I saw something different. He told God you have your hand on Job. Does he serve you for nothing? You've blessed the work of his hands, You've done this and that for him.. BUT remove it all and I bet you he curses You to your face. I said WOW. It's almost as if he's saying those THINGS were the only reason why Job served God the way he did. It said God permitted the devil with the exception of touching Job's life TO PROVE HIM WRONG. I said wow God, I now understand why we have to have that Hebrew Boys blood "and even if He doesn't deliver, I still won't bow down". It's all a test! S M
Subject: Re: Choose to be God's "Exhibit"--Thanks Dr. T. God Blessed you to give more messages that are powerful. I agree we do change and grow as Daddy God encourages us and as He encourages you to encourage us. Glad you are back. Wish I could go on that retreat with you all I know it will be a powerful time in the mountains. Keep up the good work. Jesus loves you and so do I. S R
Subject: Re: YES, I AM SEEN AND HEARD!!! Thanks Dr. T. God Bless you for another excellent newsletter. I pray to monitor my attitude and behavior during my wait. You always give me something that is good for my soul and spirit. Much Love. R. S.
Subject: Re: YES, I AM SEEN AND HEARD!!! I know when God wants me to be with the Overcovers' Bible Fellowship. I know! I have been listening to "overcomerfollowship.org" this evening and night. Thank you, thank you, and I say that too much. No! But I love our overcomerfellowship.org and the other emails. From my heart. I love you always. Thank you Jesus!
Subject: RE: Choose to be God's "Exhibit". Hello, My dearest Dr. Tonya Lewis, Thank you for always sending encouraging emails. My storms have been great, but Daddy God is on the throne. And by Jesus Christ's stripes I have been strong, guided with wisdom and at peace with every storm. Every morning, I thank God for waking me up to see another day for His glory. I pray every day that Jesus Christ surrounds me with Christ like individuals in my life. Me and God's art project have been on an awesome journey. God has blessed me to see two United States Presidents in my lifetime, President Obama and President Clinton. This is truly a blessing from God!!! Now, My (Unity) black stone sculpture is a permanent art piece in the White House as of 2009. Here lately I have been exhibiting all over Southern California and meeting and networking with a lot of beautiful people for God's glory. I feel honored and blessed to be a solider for Jesus Christ. I give my mind, body and soul to God's kingdom. I am at peace and very happy. With Much Love, Your sister in Christ. Stella Singleton-Jones Sculpturesbystella.com
Subject: RE: Choose to be God's "Exhibit" Good evening Dr. Lewis,
Very happy to see your Nuggets for the Soul. They're very interesting, and perk-up the day. May God bless you. Sincerely, Ms. M S

Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others.Henry Drummond
God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well. Voltaire
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'William Arthur Ward
You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness. Brad Garrett
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.William Arthur Ward
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. John Lennon
What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.Ralph Marston
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.Leo Buscaglia
Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection. Pindar
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more. H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.Lao Tzu
For it is in giving that we receive. Francis of Assisi
Giving opens the way for receiving. Florence Scovel Shinn
